Fashion Statement

Fashion Statement (Joseph Gatty by Keith Keppel, 1996) is a remarkable tall bearded iris that commands attention with its sophisticated color palette and sculptural form. Reaching 36" (91 cm) and blooming midseason, this award-winning variety features standards and style arms in a lightly greyed rosy lilac, contrasted by slightly paler, pinker falls with a pallid lilac center and sunset-shaded hafts. Flamingo-hued beards add a vibrant accent, while the ruffled petals create a painterly, gallery-worthy effect. With its pedigree from 'Coming Up Roses' x 'Designing Woman', Fashion Statement is a medal-worthy, exhibition-grade iris—perfect for gardeners seeking a captivating, show garden centerpiece. Honored with an Award of Merit in 2003, this cultivar is a true standout for any refined landscape. Attributes: Historic, Ruffled Awards: Award of Merit, Honorable Mention
